Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1058

Daryl then added, “With great masters already existing so few and far between, you may wonder why such a

powerful force would and could summon so many of them from all across the globe. Well, you see, nobody would

know about the truth behind the event if they didn’t partake in the pledge of the holy water in the first place!

Regardless, I told you to stay since there’s a very important clue to all this that I wanted to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Well, I know that you’ve constantly been investigating the Sun League. There was a picture that was etched on the

stone tablet that was dug up, and I find it to be quite similar to the place that was described on the token of the holy

water. I want to study it together with you. Call it a gut feeling, but I feel that it’s closely linked with the pledge of

the holy water.”

“From what you’ve said, it truly does seem relevant. If one manages to participate in the pledge of the holy water,

there’s a chance that the secrets of the Sun League—which have remained an enigma for nearly a thousand years

—may finally be solved!”

Despite knowing full well that those who participated in the pledge either went missing right off the bat or went

insane before dying, Gerald was still very excited to have a lead.

What sort of life did those from within the Sun League live? Who even were their members?

After suffering for over a year, would he finally be able to solve those questions?

Regardless, Gerald finally understood why Finnley had claimed that it would be better to just kill himself when

Gerald told him that he was going to investigate the Sun League a year ago. Finnley must’ve been aware that only

great masters would be able to uncover their secrets, and even if they managed to do so, no answers would ever

return with them—to the ordinary world—once the event was over. After all, the participants either disappeared or

went insane!

“For a while now, I’ve noticed that something seemed to be weighing on your mind. You even summoned all the

family members to observe the picture of the sun! So this was what it was…”

“Indeed… As you can already tell, I may not be able to return once I head out on this journey… If I don’t leave the

picture of the sun with you, then I’ll truly be a great sinner to the Crawford family!” replied Daryl as he shook his

head.

“…How do you feel about me representing you to participate in the pledge of the holy water, grandpa? After all,

since the picture of the sun predicts that I’ll die soon anyway, I may as well participate in the pledge of the holy

water in a final attempt to solve the secrets of the Sun League. Who knows, I may even succeed and find out where

Mila and uncle are. If I’m able to do that, then I’ll at least be able to die content,” proposed Gerald with a slightly

bitter smile.

“Rejected. First of all, my name was the one that was engraved on this token of the holy water, so they’d surely be

expecting me. Secondly, once they find out that you’re only a semi-great master, that’ll give them even more

reasons not to allow you to participate. I know how much you love me, Gerald… After all, you’re always so

obedient… However…”

At this point, Daryl, one of the strongest to ever live, suddenly burst into tears!

“…I …I just can’t find a way to save you…! I’m uncertain how things will end for me as well once I go on this

journey… Gerald, know that you’re the future of the Crawford family… If you die, then our family will sink together

with you!” cried out Daryl.

While he had claimed that he would look for a way to solve things, after being notified of the picture of the sun’s

prophecy, what else could be done?

Hearing that, Gerald started weeping as well. While he wasn’t afraid of death, since he was now aware of what was

to come, he knew that he needed to start staying away from everyone. That alone was enough to fill him with grief.

“…Please don’t be saddened, grandpa… When that day comes along, I’ll be sure to fight them till my very last

breath!” declared Gerald as he clenched his fists tightly.

Looking at his grandson, Daryl then nodded firmly before replying, “…Either way, that woman in white clothes that

Lyra keeps mentioning seems to have a lot to do with you! How cryptic… Regardless, I have to say that Lyra truly

surprised me this time… I’ve heard from your dad that she was the only one who was able to see a broken stone

statue on the map that was traced from the stone tablet! She was the sole person to be able to see through and

decipher the sun picture’s prophecy as well today! What exactly are her origins? You know, I even secretly

investigated her when your parents picked her up by the beach, yet I found nothing at the time. Regardless, it never

occurred to me that she would have such capabilities…”

Hearing that, Gerald fell silent, feeling both flustered and confused.

While some revelations seemed to have made things rather complicated, Gerald could sense that he was also

getting closer to the truth now.
